Tropicos Web Services allows you to call methods for gathering data from the
Tropicos
application. Since screen scraping in not encouraged, this is the preferred interface. Individual methods are detailed in the
menu on the left.
Users are provided with an api key in the form of a long string of characters and numbers. This key must be used in all service
calls to verify who they are and if they are authorized to use the service.
The service follows a
RESTful
style. All urls will start the following way:
http://services.tropicos.org/
